Influences: I've got way too many influences to list.What happens in life on a daily basis gives me my subjects to create music and lyrics.My 1st bands that inspired me the most were Boston, Kansas and Led Zepplin.Southern Rock followed then came the Blues! From roots to modern-country style or ripping rock style.From Robert Johnson to Joe Bonamassa.SRV is my favorite.I followed up with Jazz and Traditional folk. Took a trip to Albert Music Hall in Waretown and was astonished by the amazing picking abilities of the local Bluegrass musicians.I visit/play there often.Classic and modern Country music are also big on my plate. Hank Williams Alan Jackson Toby Keith Garth Brooks and Clint Black whoops forgot Johnny Cash!My favorites in that genre.It is imperitive that I mention bluesman Guy Davis. I had seen him twice in '07 and am still high on Guy!I can't leave out the ladies either. Aretha Franklin,Bettye La Vette,Shamekia Copeland Shania Twain Tina Turner Nancy Wilson Bonnie Raitt.I can go on for hours. The tops on my list for singer songwriters are Bruce Springsteen,Bob Dylan and John Hiatt.I also can't forget the Grateful Dead.I think you have an idea of my taste and style.An absolute musical smorgasbord!I respect all styles even the genres I haven't delved in.
